There is a boy I know, who haemorrhages rainbows He soars with eyes that perforate Through pretension and decade-old despondencies He says he misses a girl, He doesn’t utter this with his mouth But the words slip out of his pores When reminiscence stains the brown carpet Crocheted together with tomorrow’s sunrises And when he...

The Understanding of Love.
It is funny how we as men react to love, I’m talking real love here – I’m talking the kind of love that would make you fall for a prostitute, not that you were looking for a prostitute to love but the girl you love happens to be a prostitute. I’m talking about that girl...
Love in The Time of Kuzophela
“Nisazohlukana”, I am seeing this word a lot on Twitter when people gush about their relationships. It’s an absolutely terrible notion, however facts are facts…it will end. Perhaps not all relationships will end in a nasty break-up, others will be amicable, many will make it past that stage and lead to marriage, some marriages will...
Love In The Time of Kicking It (Part Two)
When I met her I remember saying that I don’t want a relationship, she responded with the words; as long as you are clear and upfront with what you want I am cool with it, so lets kick it. What does kicking it mean? What are the rules? Let me start from the beginning. We...
He Said That I Have Agency
My friend says, as cool as the cabbro something drink that’s in front of her. I thought it was a mojito but she corrected me. I moved on quickly, knowing that I didn’t care to know. Frankly if it isn’t a gin and tonic, my keenness is at a level that is zero. “What does...

The Fast-Love Professional …
Friends call me “the fast-love professional”, and they’re not far off. I fall in love easily and quite often. And it’s often with the wrong type of man. Sweet and sensitive, Dick bought me flowers and opened the door for me, before turning out to be a psycho Harry, screaming at me for calling other...
Boy Friends …
As much as I love my girls, I have always maintained a healthy circle of guy friends. I have been one of the boys from those days or ridding our bicycles to the clubhouse and basketball courts in Country view. I used to roller blade with the boys (bruises and all), attend rap battles, freestyle...
Mixing Bodies and Cultures: Love, Race and Prejudice
When it comes to marriage, I jumped off the cliff, I married a white woman. Not only did I marry a white woman, I also married beyond my intellectual station. When we met she was a PhD student and senior lecturer. At the time, I was an old-age student still only doing my undergraduate. Later,...
